> I find it interesting that anytime pg posts a comment it gets upvoted like crazy even if it isn't particularly brilliant.
My comment started out at -1, got voted up to 5ish or so, and after pg made his comment, got voted down again (not that I particularly care). He certainly does have a lot of influence, but that's not a bad thing - I think many of us arrived here because we like his writing and what he's done with this site.

Agreed. I'm not saying that it's bad that pg has a lot of influence. It's just interesting to me how quick we are to follow him even against the trend of the community, and perhaps our own individual thinking.
